I just received a Game Loss because I registered a wrong card from my Draft. It kinda stings because I acknowledged it in the checking process after decklists were handed. But as the Latin says: ‘Dura Lex, Sed Lex’. #MTGWorlds 0-0-1. 😅

For those not in the know, the current Worlds Tournament in Hawaii is drafted in paper and then imported to MTG Arena, the most recent MTG computer client.

How is it possible that the deck was allowed to be registered incorrectly when imported, was it not checked ahead of time? Is this unique to the unusual format (paper draft → computer games), or could this happen if the games were also paper?

I guess it's a game loss if you for example misspell a card. The player is responsible for correctly entering the cards they drafted. I didn't find any details on what actually happened, but I believe this is the case here.

The player (Andrea Mengucci) wrote a wrong card to his decklist after the draft. This constitutes as a decklist problem. The fact that the tournament is partly played on MTG Arena, doesn't matter here. Appropriate penalty in this is case is a game loss.
